Therefore, the present study was conducted with aim of evaluating the frequency of risk factors involved in ischemic stroke and its relationship with the involvement site and duration of hospitalization in the patients diagnosed with stroke in the Internal Neurology Ward of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Urmia. Materials & Methods: In a descriptive study, 270 patients who had been diagnosed with ischemic stroke in Imam Khomeini Hospital of Urmia hospital were evaluated. A questionnaire was developed in which the patients' medical records and risk factors for ischemic stroke were recorded. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS19 software. Results: 45.2% of the patients were male and 54.8% were female.
